Why don't you use "ethprime" ? > What's the intended/desired function of ethact, and how should it be > initialized? Even using CONFIG_ETHPRIME has no effect.

"active" as "currently active", i. e. what will be used when you issue a network command. > Although eTSEC0 is the only connected port on our device, it comes up with > UEC0 - so, even if this interface in "on" in some way, this does not help > here. > > How can I force ethact to be eTSEC0 (or whichever I want), without tampering > U-Boot base files? "ethact" is the wrong variable for what you are trying to do. Use "ethprime" instead.
